Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Qiran - Nāṣer al-Dīn Qājār 1295-1296 (1878-1879) coin from Iran is that it features a unique blend of traditional Persian motifs and European-style numismatic designs. The obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned portrait of Nāṣer al-Dīn Qājār, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a lion and a sun, which are symbols of power and prosperity in Persian culture. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Iran and Europe during the late 19th century.
